The monkeyrunner tool provides an API for writing programs that control an Android device or emulator from outside of Android code. It allows you to write a program, which runs on your host machine that can interact with an application running in the emulator or on a target device.

With monkeyrunner, you can write a Python program that installs an Android application or test package, runs it, sends keystrokes to it, takes screenshots of its user interface, and stores screenshots on the host.

Monkey is a user interface and application tester for Android applications.

It is a command-line tool that sends pseudo-random streams of keystrokes, touches, and gestures to a device.

This tool in unrelated to the monkeyrunner tool mentioned above. (It runs on the target, and monkeyrunner-based programs run on the development host machine.)

Robotium is a test framework created to make it easy to write powerful and robust automatic black-box test cases for Android applications. With the support of Robotium, test case developers can write function, system and acceptance test scenarios, spanning multiple Android activities.

Robotium has full support for Activities, Dialogs, Toasts, Menus and Context Menus.
